Took another crack at this again today still working but definitely improved

 

Small improvement...1:50.665



Took a little while to get adjust to the new TV, changed my FOV to 50 as well, I feel I could do the last sector a little better but can never string together a full lap!

Most of the settings included in the clip as I changed something before the lap, dampers page missing as I didn't need to cycle through it to get to whatever I decided to change!

Another tip, once you start making changes it is always good to return to the default setting once in a while to check you have actually improved things for yourself Don't forget to save what you have though!

 

Didn't get a chance to try over the weekend the f1 and v8 supercars kept me busy. I don't think I'd get a lot more off it anyway!
Lookin forward to the next challenge, have to say tho the last combo was very nice I enjoyed it a lot..

 

Congrats to all who have taken part, some fantastic lap times here. The driver with the lowest time in last weeks challenge gets to pick this weeks.. Look forward to learning what we'll be driving next!

@ShneebnaMRR108, You get to pick this weeks challenge. Let us know what we're driving next!?

Thanks All,

John

 

Good turnout for the initial round Looking forward to the next one!

Thanks to John for getting this up and running

 

Very enjoyable! @johngordon will be hoping to see you set a time in the next one!
Well done to graveltrap..

 

I really wanted to get a time in, Last week I was in London for IPExpo. Should be able to find more time for this weeks challenge.

 

John - Do you mean the player in last place chooses next challenge - (just for clarity)
Congrats GT good time
Well done everyone and especial thanks to John for getting us all together......

 

This is a good idea, I missed the first one but for the record did a 1m 56.273 on a base set up with soft tyres.
maybe run a forum league with points for top 10 and run it over 6 months
I will keep my eye out on the next one
Great thread

 

now what would be really good is being able to set this up via the game online, on both consoles, so anyone can have a go and times are posted on to a leader board, and somehow link to 2 leader boards together like rivals in Forza....
Or I suppose you could screen shot both PS4 and XB1 leader boards and amalgamate the results on here....

hope Kunos read this!

 

How about Merc SLS AMG GT3 at Imola.
Thanks for the opportunity to pick the round 2, but maybe the last place driver to pick is not such a fair idea, (since I'll probably be last every time, Ha Ha) Maybe a random pick, or cycle thru the members so everyone gets a chance.

 

We'll stick to the last place driver pick's.

However; If the same player has to pick two weeks in a row, instead of choosing car/track, in the second week the last place driver nominates another driver to pick track/car. Make sense?

 

So Guys...

This week's Challenge is SLS AMG GT3 @ Imola!

I'll make an official thread once I've thought of a catchy name, suggestions welcome!

 

Are the settings going to be the same? Temps and time, factory etc?

 

This has been awesome and has been a great way of extracting every last second out of a track. I don't think I would have pushed myself past my first 1.53 had it not been for this thread.

//fires up the SLS//

 

Found this on-line -
History[edit]

Karl Benz. Benz made the 1886 Benz Patent Motorwagen, which is widely regarded as the first automobile.

Gottlieb Daimler, founder of Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft.
Mercedes-Benz traces its origins to Karl Benz's creation of the first petrol-powered car, the Benz Patent Motorwagen, financed by Bertha Benz[2] and patented in January 1886,[3] and Gottlieb Daimler and engineer Wilhelm Maybach's conversion of a stagecoach by the addition of a petrol engine later that year. The Mercedes automobile was first marketed in 1901 by Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft. (Daimler Motors Corporation). Emil Jellinek, an Austrian automobile entrepreneur who worked with DMG created the trademark in 1902, naming the 1901 Mercedes 35hp after his daughter Mercedes Jellinek. The first Mercedes-Benz brand name vehicles were produced in 1926, following the merger of Karl Benz's and Gottlieb Daimler's companies into the Daimler-Benz company.[3][4] On 28 June, 1926, Mercedes Benz was formed with the merger of Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler's two companies. Throughout the 1930s, Mercedes-Benz produced the 770 model, a car that was popular during Germany's Nazi period. Adolf Hitler was known to have driven these cars during his time in power, with bulletproof windshields.[5] Most of the surviving models have been sold at auctions to private buyers. One of them is currently on display at the War Museum in Ottawa, Ontario. The pontiff's Popemobile has often been sourced from Mercedes-Benz.[6] Mercedes-Benz has introduced many technological and safety innovations that later became common in other vehicles.[7] Mercedes-Benz is one of the best-known and established automotive brands in the world.

It's got to be 'The Jellinek Challenge', surely........

 

How about "Imola Palooza"
11:00AM / Light Clouds / Free set up

 

Yes, I think its best to keep it simple. Same consistent settings.

 

Well done for starting this. I love that Praga.

Thanks to some of the settings from Graveltrap I was able to get down to 1:55.7 but haven't bothered to find out how to get my screenshots and video off the system. Will move onto the big Merc now.

Of interest I notice that one of the timing screenshots that was posted showed an ambient temp of 25c and a track temp of 36c. if played around with weather and times but my track temp is always about the same as the ambient.

Does track temp have an effect on the tyre model?

Would be nice to see the setups for the top few each week and build a bit of a library.
